Surgery Again

Hello everyone. It's so hard to believe I am 2 years post-op already! Unfortunately, I have to have surgery again on Monday. I have an obstruction caused by adhesions. This will be the third surgery since October. I don't regret having WLS but I honestly don't know how much more I can handle of these surgeries. It's exhausting both physically and emotionally. The healing doesn't seem to get any easier - and they have to do open surgery (they were hoping to do it via scope but it's too big of a job). Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. - Shannon

I'm sorry you're going through so much. I had adhesions that my RNY surgeon took care of March 7, along with hernia repair and pannilectomy. I'm still tired and healing, but doing fine. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Shannon, Good luck with your surgery. I had to have my gallbladder out and then I had a blockage that looked like a hernia so they went in again - but the surgery ended up being diagnostic only. I found I bounced back pretty fast from both the surgeries and I wish the same for you. Regards, Sue McD
